| Help---Throwing Up!! I need your help. Izzy threw up two days in a row. Ive been feeding him ground beef, rice veggies, cottage cheese and plain yogurt twice a day (morning and evening) Then, in the middle of the day I leave him a small amount of Solid Gold Wee Bits for a snack. This has been going on for a while. ( I ran out of the Dr. Harveys, Im waiting for my order to be delivered) So Monday evening, same routine he ate the ground beef mixture. (1/4 cup each feeding) Then like 4 hours later or so, he threw up. Tuesday same thing, I gave him the beef mixture like normal. I woke up in the middle of the night and he was throwing up. What could be wrong? The only thing I can think of that was out of the ordinary was I gave him a few small pieces of banana as a treat yesterday, on Monday he had a couple of soybeans as a treat. Maybe he ate something off of the floor? I dont know...maybe the ground beef needs to be thrown out? Please help! Oh by the way, he's almost 9 months and weighs 5lbs.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Are you feeding raw beef or cooked? Did he start the home cooking gradually or suddenly?

| It's cooked. Ive been feeding it to him gradually. The food I ran out of was freezedried, kind of looked like oatmeal with veggies. He never had problems with that. I add the protein to it like chicken, beef or turkey.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Poor baby. Hmmmmm...tough one. You know, Wylie will sometimes have a couple days where he'll throw up (rarely) and I can't find the reason. I always wonder if they ate something they shouldn't have. Maybe feed just boiled chicken and rice for a few days and see what happens?

| Yeah, Im thinking maybe thats what it was. I did catch him chomping on something but couldnt stop him, by the time I saw it he swallowed it. I might just do the chicken and rice thing for a couple of days. Its weird because I feed it to him in the morning too. When I came home yesterday, I didn't see that he threw up, but after I fed it in the evening it happened again...he doesn't seem to be sick he's acting like normal.

| Ohhhhh, maybe that's the problem. I have been feeding it to him for a few days. I started him off on ground turkey, maybe I should switch back or add chicken...Thanks Jodie!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | How are you cooking the ground beef? I fry it but blot all the grease out of it. Maybe it's too rich for his little tummy. I hope you can figure it out soon. I am glad he is acting normal and still eating.

| I fry it and blot out the grease too. You and Jodie are probably right, maybe its too rich for him. I even gave him the lean beef. I used to give him ground turkey but changed to beef just to switch it up a bit. So I guess its back to ground turkey or chicken. Thanks ladies!

| Also, some dogs are allergic to beef. It was probably just too rich for your baby. We've had success with ground turkey with my little maltese, Emma. Good luck!! I think the goal is to switch it up every so often so that they don't develop allergies, but not too often so that their tummies don't get all upset.

| Oh, also make sure that the cottage cheese and yogurt are low-fat or non-fat. Too much fat is hard on them.

| The yogurt is low fat but not the cottage cheese....no wonder!! Fatty meat and cottage cheese...that's enough to make me sick! Thank you so much for your advice. That is why I love this site

| the only thing I would add to the little ones diet right now is to make sure he/she is getting enough fluids. My little one gets dehydtated when she vomits. The only way I can get her to drink is to give her frozen chicken broth cubes. She liks them until they are gone. I learned this the hard way. It cost me over a hundred dollars to have the vet hydrate her. Good luck and hope all goes well.
